Yeah, the whole "that's offensive" thing is getting really out of hand. You can't even tell a joke without offending someone for fuck's sake.

Yes, maybe not everyone has the time to do their job.
Funsubstance, where defending people who are inconsiderate to their customers from whom they get their income is ok, but don't you dare call them out on it, that's inconsiderate!

It says it right on the diploma, "do not bend". So either the mailman is an illiterate idiot or a careless lazy ass. Don't know which one is better.

Please do elaborate.

Odin, Vili and Ve then killed Ymir and made the land from his muscles and skin, the oceans from his blood, the sky from his skull, the mountains from his bones, clouds from his brain, and flora from his hair.
Then they made the first man and woman, Ask and Embla, from tree trunks.
I really like the end of the story because it shows that both genders are made out of the same material, unlike the biblical version of first humans that is pretty much the breeding ground for inferiority and superiority complex (and yes I know about Lilith). The Nords were pretty big on gender equality, hence why there are about as many gods as there are goddesses. It's funny that everyone thinks how barbaric they were but in reality they were in certain aspects more advanced than the Christians, but of course they were eradicated/converted because polytheism = heathen.
Also, fun fact, Midgard (our world, Earth) literally means Middle Earth. There are also other names and concepts that inspired Tolkien.

How nice, I'm glad to see people interested in this sort of thing! So let's begin, shall we?
So, in the beginning there was nothing, only a big, anticosmic abyss called Ginnungagap, and the worlds of primal ice, Niflheim, and primal fire, Muspelheim. When the fire and ice met in the abyss, Ymir the giant was born. Ymir was a hermaphrodite (although he's usually depicted as a man), but more giants were born from his sweat.
As more ice from Niflheim melted, the cow Audhumbla emerged from it, and Ymir drank her milk for nourishment. Audhumbla continued to lick the ice, and the first god, Buri, emerged from it. Buri had a son named Bor who married Bestla, the daughter of a giant named Bolthorn. Their children were Odin, Vili and Ve (which means that Odin himself is half-giant, and Thor is actually 3/4 giant unlike the Marvel universe would have you believe).
(Cont.)

Oh good, I was pretty confused there for a while.
And Ymir wasn't really the creator of the world, but rather the material from which the world was created. I could almost tell the whole story by heart but I doubt people here are interested so I'll leave it at that.

I was just about to point out the same thing. It's nice to see some interest in literature here.

Yeah, that's sort of what I meant by influence.

@FSuser you're right that bribes amd influence are a thing, but it's not the universal rule. It's more of a corruption thing, and even though it sadly is like that at a lot of schools, it shouldn't be.
@guest then it is only a good thing that the school invests the money from the fees into security, isn't it?

Oh yeah. Definitely.

Yeah but have you seen Supernatural's interpretation of Lucifer? Flawless.

@celticrose Yeah, they are assholes, I agree with that
@novelus That's literally what I said. I said the cause of death was probably dehydration but in that case the people would have to hold it out of the water for a pretty long time, which these assholes apparently did. Ironic of you to tell me to do research when you didn't even read my second comment properly.

You do realize that dolphins are not fish, right? You do realize that they are mammals like us, right? You do realize that they breathe air like we do, right?
Of course it wouldn't be able to survive like that forever, but its capabilities of surviving without water are much greater than those of any fish, cause it's not a fish. It's a mammal that had to adapt to living in water. The reason it might've died is dehydration of the skin/overheating because if I remember correctly that's how washed up whales (also mammals in case you didn't know) die, but that would mean they held it for hours upon hours.

More like a forearm or something
